Heat advisory issued for Willamette Valley, extreme temperatures forecast east of Cascades
A heat advisory has been issued across the Willamette Valley June 8 and 9 for temperatures in the mid 90s while extreme heat north of 100 degrees is expected to hit north-central Oregon. The National Weather Service forecasted temperatures to reach 92 and 96 degrees in Portland, Salem and Eugene both days, while an extreme heat watch was issued for the eastern Columbia Gorge and Plateau that could bring temperatures as high as 104. "In the Willamette Valley we're not expecting 100 degrees just yet but it could get close," NWS meteorologist Colby Neuman said. The average temperatures this time of year in the Willamette Valley is about 72 degrees. Salem and Eugene are forecast to hit 93 and 94 degrees, likely falling short of record levels. The record-high temperature in Salem for June 8 was 98 degrees and June 9 was 96, both set in 1955. The first 100 degree day in Salem was recorded on May 28, 1983. Temperatures are expected to cool back toward average levels by midweek. "Right now we've got a high pressure ridge blocking any ocean air from reaching us and keeping that heat in place," Neuman said. The ridge is expected to break down later in the week and allow cooler ocean air to come in. On the hottest days, the National Weather Service suggested: Drink plenty of fluids, stay in a cool place during the heat of the day, stay out of the sunshine, and check up on relatives and neighbors. For those without air conditioning, use fans to keep air moving. Keeps windows closed during the day and open at night. Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Monitor the latest forecasts and warnings for updates. Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes. An extreme heat warning was issued for north-central Oregon, near small towns such as Condon, for temperatures up to 101 degrees.

Hurricane season 2025: Know your evacuation zone and when it's time to evacuate
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30 with the peak of the season on Sept. 10. The most activity happens between mid-August and mid-October, according to the National Hurricane Center. An overheated Atlantic Ocean and a rising La Niña have forecasters predicting a highly active hurricane season, one that could rival one of the busiest years on record. The key to getting through storm season is being prepared. That's why The Palm Beach Post has compiled tips, lists, contact numbers, graphics and maps that should help you prepare for a storm, and, if need be, get through it fine. 🌀 2025 Hurricane Season Guide: Storm preparedness tips, supply list, evacuation zones If a major storm threatens, it could take days to evacuate some areas, especially if the storm is forecast to run parallel along the east or west coast of the Peninsula, hitting several major cities. That means perhaps millions of evacuees could flood highways, causing major backups throughout the state. Authorities work closely with the National Hurricane Center when deciding evacuations, but some storms are hard to forecast. Four days before landfall, Hurricane Andrew was an ill-defined, weak storm far out at sea. Emergency managers don't want motorists stalled in bumper-to-bumper traffic as the hurricane comes ashore. You should not stay home if you live in an evacuation area. Should I go to a hurricane shelter? What to know to make your decision To hone in on a specific area of the county to see what evacuation zone you are in, go here. Palm Beach County has an evacuation zone look-up tool. Here's how to access it. Palm Beach County is asking people who need the special needs shelter to fill out an online application: Make sure your home is as reinforced as possible. Consider the house's condition and whether your family is healthy enough. Make arrangements far in advance. Check again as the storm approaches to make sure your hosts aren't on vacation or renovating. Take some things that you'd take to an emergency shelter. No place in Florida is safe from a storm. It could envelop much of the state or march up the coast and turn toward your destination. In 1995, Erin threatened Miami, and thousands fled to Orlando, where Erin struck. Decide your destination and get a hotel room before you go. Rooms fill quickly. Flying may not be an option. Airports will close well in advance of the storm. Trains will fill quickly and will stop running once conditions deteriorate. Check your car. Fill tank, check tires, fluids and brakes. Get a current map of backup routes. Leave early. If roads are already jammed, go back home or to a shelter. If the storm is 24 hours from landfall or closer, it's too late to try to leave town. Tell someone where you are going. Leave a phone number. Florida's Turnpike: Monitor for the latest details. More evacuation route information: Call 850-414-4100 Call 511: The Florida Department of Transportation offers its free 511 service for travel information and roadway conditions, including road and bridge closures, toll suspensions and major evacuation routes.
